The bright deep orange soup I made today is filled to the brim with beautiful vegetables and full of fibers and with ataste from heaven. After a very, very cold spring it has become summer at once, but I don’t complain, for me this is heaven too!

I walk outside without my coat, barefoot, no more shawls and handkerchiefs. My balcony is slowly getting green, by all the herbs, plants and flowers that I’m growing. My mood took a big leap, from low pressure to high pressure. Yes, really, I’m so much more alive when the temperature is above 20 degrees Celsius.

I hope you enjoy the weather too, and when not make the soup and enjoy the taste of summer!

Sweet potato paprika soup (4 bowls)

2 medium onions, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine

2 small sweet potatoes

2 medium red paprikas

2 medium courgettes

1 tin of peeled tomatoes

1 cube of gluten free vegetable stock (I use Natur Compagnie)

2 tbsp chopped basil leaves

In a big soup pan warm some olive oil and fry onion and garlic softly.

Cut and deseed the paprikas and chop roughly, add to the pan. Stir.

Let it fry together for 10 minutes.

In the meantime peel and chop the sweet potatoes in small cubes, add to the pan, stir, for another 8 minutes.

Wash the courgettes and grate them roughly and add to the rest, stir it in.

Then open the tin of peeled tomatoes, into the pan, squeeze them with your spoon, add another tin full of water, the cube of vegetable stock and bring the soup to the boil.

Let it simmer on low heat for another 10 minutes, stir occasionally.

With a stick blender puree the soup, taste and add freshly ground pepper and maybe a little salt to your taste.

Over mij

Since november 2007 celiac disease has been diagnosed with me and did I start with the gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I'm very interested in health and food issues. And besides, I Love Cooking. I think cooking is creating. I'm not content with the gluten free range of products in the shops in Holland, so I make most of the food myself. I think gluten free food must be healthy, real food, but above all very tasty. Also non-celiacs must (and they do!) enjoy my food.
I am 50 years old and I live, together with my son, in Rotterdam, Holland.***
Sinds november 2007 is bij mij coeliakie geconstateerd en ben ik begonnen met een glutenvrij dieet. Ik ben erg geïnteresseerd in gezondheid en voeding. Daarnaast ben ik gek op koken. Ik ben niet tevreden over het aanbod van glutenvrije artikelen in de winkels, dus maak ik vrijwel alles zelf. Glutenvrij eten moet lekker zijn, gezond en ook voor niet-coeliakers aantrekkelijk zijn.
